The reveal was underwhelming. It took that idiot a year to figure out

I didn't realize they've been with the doctor off and on for 10 years.
Then again, I haven't liked the way this doctor's off screen adventures
have been handled.

Except for the unconscious people on board the ship who presumably get
blown up with it.

And all the people who've been clinically dead for too long to be
revived with a great defibrillator, and have to spend the rest of
their lives as comatose vegetables.

It took them only 47 minutes. They were just playing possum, not doing
anything until activated, like dormant agents. Clever plan, in fact.

One thing is certain: I will never hear "La Danse des Canards" the same way
again. Just as with "The Lion Sleeps Tonight".

And I want more Kate Stewart !

Her disguising herself by dropping the 'Lethbridge' was a bit lame
though; maybe that would work better in Britain than in the USA.

It does seem to be a lot of wasted resources just to find out something
he could have by going to the library or tapping into cable TV or
grabbing somebody off the street and ASKING them.

Also, whatever he sends our that stops human hearts is probably going to
fry a lot of other stuff as well. If he's not worried about collateral
damage, there are obvious ways to depopulate a pre spacefaring race ...

That was one of many serious problems I had with this episode. Amy
calculates that it's been 10 years for them (she doesn't actually know
because 10 years haven't passed for their friends) and yet a couple of
scenes later, their friends and coworkers are complaining about how they
vanish for months at a time (remember the Doctor telling Martha that
he'd bring her back to the moment they left?) - so which is it?

And ... that was another one. What, is the action in the entire last
third of the show supposed to take place in two minutes? Also, the
cubes go after the nearest person, so everybody better hope nobody has
moved a body, or a cube, or come inbetween them in the meantime.

Why does quitting have to be a permanent thing? They don't have kids.
Why not schedule an annual adventure, say every July, whenever people
take vacations anyway? Except in the rare instance, like this episode,
where the danger threatens them in their time, there's no reason the
Doctor can't just pick them up on the next scheduled July 1, no matter
where or when they're headed for.

And why wouldn't Rory's dad go with them? Shirley they can find
somebody to water the plants for them.

So you admit you're deliberately being a douchebag...?

[anim8rFSK]

In article <k3nbqs$rkj$1...@dont-email.me>,

Fine, then have them quit because they've had enough (which maybe what
Rory's Dad did, but they didn't address that either) not because they've
got non existent scheduling conflicts.

[Charles E. Hardwidge]

"anim8rFSK" <anim...@cox.net> wrote in message

news:anim8rfsk-D41D4...@news.easynews.com...

"Scheduling conflicts" is entertainment industry code for new job/fired/quit
like pneumonia is a catch-all in the medical world. (A lot of people die
from pneumonia but the cause is something else.) Maybe writing them out is a
riff on that.

I agree it's overwrought and soapy but is that because of too many human
issues being injected, or because of the way it's emerged due to the single
episode nature of the current show and lack of series story arc?

These kind of things have appeared in US shows over the years so the device
isn't new but tastes have changed. DW isn't targeted as a boys only show.
Maybe the current implementation is flawed but more or less so than, say,
other attempts to reach a balanced audience?

That's still no excuse for hamming it up. Dying should be powerful,
not silly. Bottom's Pyramus is _not_ role-model.

And don't forget, his left heart stopped beating in UNIT's underground
base, but he made it all the way to the hospital (no doubt annoying
Amy with his constant cries of "Arrh! No! Oooh! Oh!", like an ADHD
Frankie Howerd, every step of the journey) before being
defibrillated. Why doesn't UNIT have a defibrillator in its first aid
kit!?!

And thinking about the aliens' plan...

They exist outside of time, so they can attack Earth at any era. In
that case why didn't they try when there were fewer humans to wipe
out, like the Neolithic era? And Doctor hardly ever visits that time,
so isn't likely to interfere!

[anim8rFSK]

Yes, because the very nature of Doctor Who precludes these problems as
they're presenting them.

In the same job with the same outfit. In America you'd ask her if she
was any relation, first question.

It's not really about them having literal speicific things to do that
it interferes with. It's really about the fact that they can't fully
commit to living on earth and having a normal life when they know that
they could always slip off back into the Doctor's world and never come
back.

That's the big thing here; the Doctor keeps telling people "We can go
and have adventures and i'll bring you right back to when you left so
you can go on with your mundane normal life afterward," but that's
only half-true, because even if the Doctor manages to get you home to
the right place and time, *you* aren't the same. Just as one small
example, I'd hate to be the first patient Rory has to help the day
after his anniversary, when he's suddenly two months out-of-practice.
Adn will Amy really remember she's got to pick her bridesmaid's dress
up at the shop this afternoon, if they call her in the morning, but at
lunch she pops off for six months saving galaxies?

(I may have it backwards, but my recollection is that in 'The Chase',
the Doctor allegedly tries to send Ian and Barbara back to 1963, and
misses by a bit, leaving them in 1965. In the Target Novelization,
otoh, the Doctor _intentionally_ sends them back to 1965, because
between Ian's tan and their new more worldly outlook, people would get
To Talking if they just showed up back at work the next day two years
older)

It seems like you have a tendency to take people entirely literally
and only at face-value. WHen Rory's dad says that he needs to water
the plants, watering the plants is a *metaphor*. He means that he's
fully committed to his life in the "real world" and, unlike Rory and
Amy, he isn't willing to just put "real life" on hiatus.

Actually gave me a lot of respect for Rory's dad, since we know that
he *is* the kind of guy who could handle himself running off on galaxy-
saving adventures, but he doesn't yield to the temptation to run away
from it all. (Reminds me a bit of Grace in that respect).

It's kind of a shame that Rory and Amy are leaving *now*, since these
past three stories are the first time I've fully liked and respected
them.

He mentions wanting to stop them "before they spread". Perhaps they
made a point of wanting to get as close as possible to when Humanity
starts moving out into space.

There's an episode of Blake's 7 that this reminds me of. They find an
ancient earth craft the contents of which were contaminated with a
disease of alien origin. It turns out that the disease targets a
particular biological change which humans undergo when they travel in
hyperspace. The conclusion is that the aliens didn't actually care to
exterminate humanity, they just wanted to make sure humans couldn't
spread out into the galaxy.

Maybe the same thing is going on here: the "tally" is specifically
*for taking their icky humanness out into the rest of the universe*,
so the aliens can't justify genocide until the point in history where
humans start leaving the planet.

But non-douchebagness is very relevant for civilised conversation.

Hardly as close as possible. They're nearly 1,000 years too early for
the Year of the Great Breakout. Is their temporal navigation as bad
as the Doctor's?

(Or perhaps they've already tried then. Maybe they were responsible
for the rise of Magnus Greel in the first place? It's at times like
this that I miss the EDAs!)

[David Johnston]

You appear to be labouring under the misimpression that the Doctor's
targeting is always or even usually precise. It isn't.

Ah yes, the year of the great break-out, the first time humanity ever
moved into the outer solar system, except for that galaxy-spanning
empire they had in the twenty-fifth century and the time that they all
moved off-world and lived on giant city-ships in the twenty-ninth
century.

Or when they had deep-space wheel stations in the twenty-first
century.


Look, that whole "The year of the great break-out" thing was
ridiculous back when they first said it, and they're certainly not
going to scrap the OTHER thirty years of continuity to embrace it
now. The twenty-first century is "when everything changes" and when
humanity makes officially acknowledged first contact.

I wanted to know how he was going to assasinate someone with pop music.
What the hell was the countdown for, and why did he kidnap patients
from that hospital? Did Rory and Amy rescue all the patients, or just
Rory's dad? I liked the illegal smelling salt gag.

Amy was a child when she met her "raggedy doctor". Maybe that's the reference.

Uh, right. They all should have been brain dead.

Guess they're not planning on telling us who was directing The Tally.

That doesn't add up. Amelia Pond was what about 8 when she met the
Doctor. That was in 1996. The rest of The Eleventh Hour was set in
2008. So 12 years already and that is without all the adventures
(both on-screen and off) and time away from the Doctor.

Then I'll assume the writer didn't actually attempt to place any of her
episodes in "present" time in her life and make a calculation.

Yeah. If the boxes were trying everything to see what killed people,

There was one really distressing aspect to this show: it's the second-to-last for the fall season? Don't these BBC shows have "seasons" that last more than a few weeks?

How much and what kind of damage a heart attack does depends on a lot
of factors. Not all heart attacks completely stop the flow of blood
for the entire duration of the attack, just reduce it greatly and make
it irregular. My father had a severe heart attack one morning, got
dressed, waited while my mom and my sister got dressed, locked up the
dogs, got in the car, then had my sister drive him to the hospital 25
minutes away -- still in cardiac arrest the whole time. He survived
with very little damage to his heart and no brain damage.

Now, he was very lucky, but it does prove that it's possible. ANd
since the heart attacks were artificially induced, we can conclude
that everyone had the same *kind* of heart attack, and it was, for
want of a better term, a very "precise" sort of heart attack. These
people didn't have clogged arteries or heart disease or any of the
other health problems that normally cause a heart attack, so these
were much less damaging heart attacks than the average naturally
occuring kind.

You're confusing 2 different conditions. A heart attack is what you
experience when the blood supply to the heart is stopped or reduced, and
usually results in damage to the heart muscle. That's not what was meant to
have happened in this story. People didn't experience a heart attack - they
experienced cardiac arrest, which is the sudden stoppage of the heart, and
which usually requires CPR to stop brain death, and an electric shock to
restart the heart.

You missed something, although admittedly it was something stupid. The

Actually, contrary to what TV shows you, an electric shock does not
restart the heart. Defibrilation is used to *stop* the heart, ending
ventricular fibrilation or tachycardia (shallow, uncoordinated or
rapid heartbeats); the heart restarts on its own due to the natural
process that makes the heart beat all the time once the interfering
rhythm stops.

But that was the time humanity left in sufficiently large numbers to
actually be compared to "a disease", which would fit in nicely with
the "contagion" comment.

A few space wheels and an ultimately unsuccessful empire that crumbled
and collapsed under its own inefficiencies is hardly in the same
league.

While I agree with what you wrote, those people were dead because their
hearts had stopped. More than a few minutes of that and too much tissue
throughout the body dies, especially irreversible in the brain. It's not
like it was an evil plot to overwhelm cardiac wards worldwide with severely
diseased but not yet dead patients.

Humanity acknowledged the existance of aliens by wandering around Cardiff

Since the show came back it's been pretty precise. Not 100% but far
more often than not he gets when/where he wants. And I suspect more
often than not when he doesn't, it's intentional.

Don't try to pass the buck. Take responsibility for your own actions,
and answer the question.

Yes, but not that finish. Use a bit of common sense, if you've got
any.

It gets weirder if you include Rory saying in "Dinosaurs on a
Spaceship" that he was 31 -- to his dad, who didn't (yet) know about
counting years of adventure with the Doctor. Young Rory did not show
a great age difference to young Amy or young Mels. Is "Dinosaurs,"
and now, "The Power of Three" a bit in our future? The way the UNIT
stories used to be?
